We are made of both the dark and the light and in this universe of duality one cannot exist without the other. We are required to see both equally. We cannot see and know the light only without seeing and knowing the darkness too. We cannot deny the darkness, for denying the darkness is denying one’s own self; one’s own truth…

To see only one side or the other, keeps you from being in balance. To be in balance is to be aware of both in equal measure. To be fully illuminated is to know both sides of the coin; to walk in the middle, in your knowing of the entirety of this existence.

Don’t be confused by duality, instead love every part of it and love every part of you that is experiencing it. Embrace all that you have been, all that you are and all that you will become. When you love it all, you allow and honour yourself in this Earth experience. You allow yourself to see every part of you as experiencing duality in all its forms, without the judgment of good or bad, loving every part of you that is experiencing this human consciousness; the energy consciousness that is experiencing this human consciousness.

Everything has it’s opposite, each one is a force and the power of the heart is in the middle of it all. Both are required in this universe of duality; both the sunshine and the rain, the summer and the winter, the doing and the non-doing.

You are here to experience it all…

Love that part of you that gets excited at things and the part of you that can’t be bothered sometimes… love the part of you that feels anger, hate and jealousy and the part of you that loves, cares and cherishes… love the part of you that feels happy, ecstasy and joy and love the part of you that feels sad, angry or down.

Look at how much you are experiencing… all this insight into the human psyche… the human ways of being. Love the times when you get nervous or anxious and love the times when you don’t care what others think and you just have fun… love the masculine part of you when you feel the need to stand up for yourself and fight and love the feminine side of you when you want to nurture and feel the beauty in and all around you.

Love both the dark and the light side of you… see them both… see all the sides of you in this experience and love every part of it. You are knowing yourself. Love the times when you are scared and the times when you are just care free… love the part of you that at times can’t find a way out and love the part of you that sees limitless possibilities… love the part of you that speaks gently to others and love the times when you feel the need to speak out loud.

When we love it all and embrace it all as a part of us, we begin to live awakened to our knowing of “Self.”

To see an emotion in someone without concluding or judging, is to recognise the existence of such an emotion within yourself – to recognise all the variety of emotions that can arise, for it is in this wonderful human body that we get to experience the plethora of emotions. To feel is to experience… to recognise it within oneself is, knowing thyself. To know thyself is the very purpose of this existence.

All these things are not separate, they part of one spectrum with the heart-consciousness being in the centre of it all. You can liken it to the white spectrum of light which comprises all the different colours of the rainbow. It can be split for us to experience all the different colours. You are the medium through which the experience of these colours is happening.

To know all the angles of existence is to bring in compassion – the birth of compassion (for self and others) is to know the experience for what it is- an experience…  

If you pay attention, you will notice in your experience everything is simply balancing itself out. Allow the heart to be in the centre of it all, seeing it all without one thing weighing down one side more than the other. When you do this, you will begin to live more and more in an open, light and heart-centred way, continuously bringing yourself back to balance from this loving perspective.
